:Nice work. I once spent a morning helping poison a patch of the stuff by hand to keep it from beating out the local ''[[Stylisma pickeringii]]''. Are you familiar with either [http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/ Biodiversity Heritage Library] or [http://botanicus.org/ Botanicus]? Between them, they have all but the past few years of ''American Fern Journal'' and many of the East Coast botanical journals available free online; maybe there's something there you'll find useful for your coast.

== Thanks again ==

...for making some unusual plants appear in Wikipedia, in this case ''[[Narthecium americanum]]''. I should be able to get a photo for that this summer. (I'll try to get it in bloom at Webb's Mill, but I should be visiting Warren Grove in the fall.) I might just stumble across ''[[Euphorbia purpurea]]'' elsewhere (I'll be botanizing something else in an area with known populations), but that's likely to be harder to spot.

==Science lovers wanted!==
*Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the [[Wikipedia talk:GLAM/SIA|Smithsonian Institution Archives]] until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate [[Wikipedia:GLAM/SIA/Participants|here]] and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our [[Wikipedia:GLAM/SIA/Outcomes/Todo|to-do list]]. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the [[Wikipedia:GLAM/SIA/Requests|request page]], and of course, if you share your successes at the [[Wikipedia:GLAM/SIA/Outcomes|outcomes]] page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation! [[User:SarahStierch|Sarah]] ([[User talk:SarahStierch|talk]]) 01:49, 18 April 2012 (UTC)|}

== Use of Italics ==

Greetings, I am visiting because I've noticed your contributions posted in Colorado Project articles; those pertaining to genus and species that are italicized (some genus italicized, some genus not italicized) and some article titles which are italicized have intrigued my curiosity. Why the italics are being used (in particular the list of recent articles and changes at the WP:Colorado section)? I am a recently new editor and so far I've found that the use of italics refer to book titles, and certain other policy/guideline factors discouraging use of italics for emphasis. This is just my need to know (biology taxonomically) about italicized species and genus. And as an end note - kudos on all your contributions, hopefully I might be able to emulate the efforts in my own contributions <span title="Interwiki Links" style="background-color:#aaccbb;">[[w:User:Orschstaffer|&nbsp;''O'']] = [[m:User:Orschstaffer|M]][[v:User:Orschstaffer|&nbsp;<sub>''C''</sub>]][[Special:Contributions/Orschstaffer|&nbsp;<sup>4</sup>&nbsp;]]</span> 17:01, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
*Hi, thanks for writing. Both genus and species should be italicized; if I did not italicize, it was an accident and feel free to fix it. If the article title is a scientific name it should be italicized too. More info can be found at the page for [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of Life]]. There are also lots of plant experts watching the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants|talk page for WikiProject Plants]] for plant questions. Thanks again, -[[User:IceCreamAntisocial|IceCreamAntisocial]] ([[User talk:IceCreamAntisocial#top|talk]]) 19:39, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

== Rollback ==

Hi IceCreamAntisocial, [[File:Wikipedia Rollbacker.svg|right|80px]]
I have [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3A{{PAGENAMEU}} granted] rollback rights to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of ''reverting [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]]'', and that you will not abuse it by reverting [[Wikipedia:Assume good faith|good-faith]] edits or to [[Wikipedia:Edit war|revert-war]]. For information on rollback, see [[Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback]] and [[Wikipedia:Rollback feature]]. If you do not want rollback, just let me know and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks.

The L.A. Wikipedia community has two exciting events coming up in the next few weeks: an edit-a-thon sponsored by the online magazine East of Borneo, and the fourth annual Los Angeles Wiknic!

The '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/EOB/Unforgetting_4|East of Borneo event]]''' is an [[:Outreach:Edit-a-thon|edit-a-thon]] that aims to build a better history of art in Southern California. This next chapter of their [[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/EOB|Unforgetting L.A.]] series will take place on Saturday, June 21, 2014 from 12pm to 5pm at 356 S. Mission Rd. ([http://goo.gl/maps/eqvy3 map]).

The '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/4thWiknic|Wiknic]]''' is a part of the nationwide [[Wikipedia:Wiknic|Great American Wiknic]].  We'll be grilling, getting to know each other better, and building the L.A. Wikipedia community!  The event is tentatively planned for [[Pan-Pacific Park]] ([https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=202916320350074257672.0004c2268fd853df455b5&msa=0&ll=34.073596,-118.355504&spn=0.001926,0.002508 map]) and will be held on Sunday, July 6, 2014 from 9:30am to 4pm or so.

== How to explain to non-botanist admin that field guides based on Jepson, when used as sources, may look like copyright violations, but are not ==

Justlettersandnumbers tagged this[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Syntrichopappus_fremontii&oldid=613422240] as a "blatant" vopyright violation, without citing any examples. The articles as I been finding them (typically first written by you, IceCreamAntiSocial), are all essentially already in this format, but in narrative paragraph form, without inline citations. I have started breaking them into sections, putting in the inline citations, and adding in bits and pieces from other sources or different pages of the same source. I can see how this would look like a copyright violation to anyone that does not know that most field guides, when used as a source, all say about the same content, with variations on the wording. 

To a non-botanist, this may look like a coyright violation. But it is not a copyright violation. The article cites three sources. The source I used in one example, Mojave Desert Wildflowers, is a field guide that is based on the Jepson Manual. Anyone who uses Jepson (the only thing going in California) would write essentially the same article. If someone had a different field guide, it would be based on Jepson, and result in essentially the same article, too. Plants are typically identified, e.g., in the Jepson Manual, by location (habitat and range -what kind of place, how far and wide they are found, etc.), and by a taxonomic description - overall growth pattern (e.g. shrub, tree, etc.), leaves and stems, flowers and fruit, and sometimes a history of the genus and species name, or of its use by humans or other animals (or plants). 

Can you help explain this to Justlettersandnumbers, or explain how to write the above mentioned article without it appearing to be a copyright violation to a non-user of Jepson? (I am putting this same note on PlantDrew's talk page, since PlantDrew seemed to be watching my first few edits.)

Come help improve Wikipedia's coverage of LA design and architecture, and have an awesome free day at the museum -- parking will be validated for edit-a-thon participants! If you'd like to use particular books from GRI's great collection, be sure to email before 2/13 (instructions at event page).

Hello, I saw that years ago You uploaded some images of bees (like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Peponapis_pruinosaCane-12.JPG this]) as ''[[User:Tortie tude|Tortie tude]]'': since I'm not an expert of Wiki-Commons, I wanted to demand to You if it is possible to You and could try to upload some images - that unfortunately are lacking - of bees poisoned by pesticides, such as this one in the site of ''[http://www.anonews.co/this-patent-can-destroy-monsanto/ Anonymous news]'', that I think should be added in some Wikipedia's pages (such as ''[[Pollinator decline]]'' or ''[[Pesticide misuse]]'' etc.).

The building has a pink top with old signage for American Accessories, Inc. dba Princess Accessories ([http://www.lacarchive.com/images.pdf Photos] <small>[PDF]</small>). There is on-site parking in the back, which also has an entrance. If you cannot attend in person, you are more than willing to work remotely, as we appreciate all help that you can provide. Finally, [https://www.facebook.com/events/758449097623273/ here is a link] to the Facebook event, in case you want to invite friends, as we are always looking for new editors to help expand coverage of women on Wikipedia! 
 
I hope to see you there! [[User:Cosmicphantom|Cosmicphantom]] ([[User talk:Cosmicphantom|talk]]) - via [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 05:54, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Dear IceCreamAntisocial,

You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on [[Los Angeles]] to [[WP:Featured article|Featured article]] status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/Los Angeles/LA to FA 2022|add your name here]]'''!

== Suspension of autopatrolled permission due to inactivity ==
{{Ivmbox|Hello IceCreamAntisocial. Following [[Special:PermanentLink/1290054377#RfC: Inactivity requirements for autopatrolled|a request for comment]] in May 2025, the community has decided to implement an activity requirement for the [[WP:Autopatrolled|autopatrolled permission]]. Because your account has not edited in the last three years, the autopatrolled permission has been removed from your account. This action is purely procedural and does not affect your ability to create articles; if you return to actively creating articles, you may request that the permission be restored through [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled|the normal process]]. When returning, please consider taking some time to re-familiarize yourself with common practices and how they may have changed over the past few years if you wish to request the permission back. Thank you for all of your contributions to Wikipedia, and we hope to see you again soon. – – [[User:DreamRimmer Alt|<b style="color:black; font-family: Tahoma">DreamRimmer Alt</b>]] ('''[[User talk:DreamRimmer Alt|talk]]''') 11:50, 14 May 2025 (UTC)|Wikipedia Autopatrolled.svg|imagesize=40px}}<!-- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=1290123480#Notification_to_affected_accounts -->
